Monday, March 19 2018  12:00 noon  ‐1:00 pm 

Renaissance Building 2nd floor 

For more than 40 years, the CMA® (Certified Management Ac‐

countant) certification has been the global benchmark for 

management accountants and financial professionals.  A rep‐

resentative from the Association of Accountants and Financial 

Professionals in Business will be on campus to discuss testing 

for the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) certifica‐

Is a certification right 

for you? 

CMAs earn 28% more in the 

U.S. than noncertified pro‐

fessionals.* In fact, a 22‐year

‐old CMA could enjoy more 

than $500,000 in additional 

lifetime earnings. More im‐

portantly, the certification 

is a pathway to a more suc‐

cessful business career: one 

that opens doors, builds 

confidence, closes skills 

gaps, and lets you tap into a 

network of 100,000 profes‐

sionals around the globe. As 

our CMAs will tell you, it's 

an investment that pays a 

lifetime of dividends and 

lets you rise above the com‐

petition. *IMA US Salary
